Question for the runners

These are great tips, thanks!

If you have a running room near you, I find their programs invaluable. They are usually around $80 for 13-18 weeks (3 times a week if you can make it). I've done their 5k, 10k, and half marathon clinics. I've learned a lot and found that running with a group challenged me to improve. Last year I trained with a group for the Mississauga half marathon, and this year I trained on my own. Because I did not challenge myself with a variety of running styles, I was a full 10 minutes slower than last year. Next month will mark my fourth half marathon. My husband and I are getting away without the kiddos, to Ottawa to run their half marathon. Looks like a beautiful course so I am excited.
